04 Nov Did you grow up hearing your mum 👩🦱tell you to sit up straight 🥴or stop slouching and stand up tall 🕴
Turns out maintaining an upright posture 🧘♀️touches almost every aspect of our lives, from our appearance, health, productivity and even our mood 😊. We all know maintaining good posture is important, but why?
1. Posture = Power 💪
Across species, posture is often the primary representation of power. People with high power poses have increased feelings of dominance, risk-taking, and power as well as reduced anxiety.
2. Say goodbye to back 😳 pain
Good posture is critical to reducing back and neck 😳 pain. Slouching can add strain to muscles and put stress on the spine.
3. Look good and feel confident 😁
Needless to say, being upright does wonders for your appearance. You look taller, slimmer and more successful when you sit and stand tall. It is imperative to making a good first impression.🚀🚀🚀
4. Breathe Better
Keeping an upright posture 🧘♀️helps open up the airways and ensure proper breathing. This allows more oxygen to flow through the cardiopulmonary system.❤️
5. Be more productive
Sitting upright makes you more alert, concentrated, and productive. The reason is that when you slouch, your body takes in as much as 30% less oxygen than you’d take in with good posture.🤔
